ASM allowed methods

ASM allowed methods are GET, HEADER, and PUT. Can somebody explain me in which case or why the HEADER method is set to Act As Method GET?

ASM uses this definition when you configure an application flow model. It allows you to configure different parameters that are allowed on POST request VS. GET request (to the same URL). In this case, request using the HEAD method will be matched against the definition of the GET request (to a specific URL).

 

BTW - By default ASM allows only GET, POST and HEAD. ASM admin can add additional methods (in your case someone added the PUT method)
